iPhone 15 Pro models may shun mechanical volume, power buttons

San Francisco: Tech giant Apple is said to be planning to replace the clickable power and volume buttons with solid-state buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro models next year.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared the information on Twitter, saying these buttons can function similarly to the iPhone 7’s solid-state home button, users can’t physically press but vibrate when touched. .

“My latest survey indicates that the volume and power buttons of the two new high-end iPhone models iPhone 15/2H23 can adopt a solid button design (similar to the iPhone 7/8 home button design). /SE2 & 3) to replace the physical/mechanical button design,” he tweeted.

Kuo added: “There will be ‘Taptic Engines’ located on the inside left and right to provide force feedback so users feel like they’re pressing physical buttons.

Kuo didn’t mention the base model iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus in his tweet, so they probably have the same click volume and power buttons.

Moreover, he also mentioned that high-end Android smartphones can follow Apple’s design to create new selling points, which will boost the mobile phone vibrator market.
